Butterflies without hurricanes

32 3 1
                                    

If a butterfly beats its wings

There is a hurricane across the ocean

And if she smiles at him

There is an tsunami of happiness.

If a girl jumps up and down

There is an earthquake across lands.

If he spins with his arms

outstretched

There is a tornado of devastation.

But sometimes there are butterflies

and no hurricanes

And it is then

When the destruction is the greatest.
